Just sharing a thought regarding being a Dad on this father's day. There is only one shot at life. If mistakes are made as kids grow up there is no chance to do over. An example is my daughter went through hell during her teenage years. This was largely due to her mom choosing the wrong guy to marry and become stepfather. I gave up 5 years of my life to undo the damage and make my daughter happy again. She is now finishing college at Fordham in New York, just moved into her 1st apartment and is the most happy since she was a child. I gave up my own life for 5 years to fix the damage hoping my daughter and I could get back to the way things were. Although she and I are super tight, it is impossible to go back to the way things were before the bad years. Now, she will create her own path in life living far from me. My point is we parents have one shot to get things right with our kids during the child through teen years. There is no going back to try again. Not handling a divorce properly, dating or marrying and bringing the wrong people into our kid's lives or being too focused on our careers instead of making kids our #1 priority, if we make these mistakes there is no going back to do over.

Thoughts for today

A problem that is becoming more common in corporate America! Top HR & Recruiting executives will often contact me here on LinkedIn and ask questions about my company that are misguided. It is obvious they never actually read my LinkedIn page nor viewed my website and ask questions that are unrelated to my company. Just yesterday a VP of TA asked if I provide project managers. Where on earth did he come to think my company might provide project managers? If top executives over HR and TA make wrong assumptions about my business without taking a few minutes to read my LI page or view my website I wonder how many other services they make wrong assumptions about or ignore because their assumptions are wrong. And, this makes me wonder how many opportunities to improve corporate operations are being missed because corporate executives jump to assumptions and are not making time to actually look at the companies they are making assumptions about. It is troubling to notice the number of messages I receive each week from top executives who ask questions about my company that are irrelevant and is obvious these executives never read my LinkedIn page nor viewed my website. OMG! #humanresources #talentacquisition #staffing #recruiting

RPO or Online Assistant Firms vs. Permanent Contractors as remote & lower cost staff. Examples are recruiting, customer support, sales support, accounting, etc. #humanresources #talentacquisition #corporaterecruiting #staffing #recruiting #customersupport

Making America Great Again. So, in South Florida there is a spot on the intracoastal waterway called Lake Boca. Every weekend boaters anchor on the sandbar to relax & swim. Sadly, several raise flags saying F Biden. Are these the "morally correct" people who complain America needs saving? Did they think about all the families trying to enjoy boating with their kids? This past weekend one of those "boaters" cruised out the inlet to the ocean and were caught on video dumping 2 full barrels of trash into the water. Luckily and due the video they were caught and arrested. I think there are many things about America that need saving. But from what I have observed over the past years the people wearing red hats and putting up flags that say F Biden are more of a problem than a solution. Getting drunk on boats and displaying F Biden flags is not a path to making America great. Just sayin
